It is hard to keep your eye on the goal, the prize -- your ideal -- when the wolves of economic collapse are biting at your heels, your calves...and lunging for your throat...
My deer friend...don't be intimidated by the wolves...don't panic...
Keep your head together...and gather the spring in your legs...
Jump high over the wolves...land outside the circle...and just keep going...
Keep that spring in your legs...
Don't look back cause you're faster than they are...
And looking back will only slow you down...
(They could still be chasing you.)
Then, once the most immediate danger is over...
Start looking for your prize, your goal -- your ideal -- again...
And keep heading in the right direction...
Don't look back...
